Thousands sign petition to remove white pride billboard near KKK headquarters in Arkansas

BY BROOKE SEIPEL

Thousands have signed an online petition to remove a billboard about white pride in Arkansas near the headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan.

As of Friday afternoon, more than 9,200 had signed the petition, which CNN reports was launched by the Harrison Community Task Force on Race Relations which wants their city of Harrison, Arkansas to be better represented.

The billboard shows a photo of two white adults and children holding an American flag alongside a sketch of a cross with a dove and a flame. It advertises the websites WhitePrideRadio.com and AltRightTV.com.

The billboard has reportedly been in the area since 2013, but gained renewed attention when a white filmmaker recently stood in the spot with a Black Lives Matter sign and filmed the interactions he had with people in cars driving by.

"The billboards have done tremendous damage to our community by giving the impression that our citizens support their messages and don’t object to their presence," the petition reads.

The video, the Klan headquarters, and the billboard are a disgrace to Harrison, Arkansas.
